When the fight between Elon Musk and Donald Trump started, some people were surprised and some were happy. Some people started blaming Russia, China and Iran for this. Russia even took a dig at Elon Musk by offering him political asylum but the tension ended as quickly as it started. This has raised a question in people’s minds, was this all a drama? If not, then how long will the honeymoon of these two big global personalities last?
New Delhi. The ongoing tussle between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has taken a new turn. Posting on Twitter, Musk has expressed regret over his old statements against Trump. He wrote, “My posts went too far and I regret it.” The controversy, which started on May 28, began when Elon Musk criticized Donald Trump’s policies. After this, a heated debate broke out between the two on social media. Musk attacked Trump and said that he should be removed from the post of President and Vice President JD Vance should be brought in his place. However, now Musk has apologized to Trump, regretting his statements. This apology has come after Trump’s threat, in which he said that “if Musk supports the Democrats, he will have to face serious consequences.”
Effect of the dispute on business
After this fight between the two, some questions were arising in the minds of the people. There was a huge decline in the shares of Tesla and SpaceX, due to which billionaire Elon Musk suffered a huge loss in a few days. But before this matter could go further, Elon Musk even surrendered to Donald Trump. Which he himself started by deleting his tweets against Trump. This fight has had a direct impact on Elon Musk’s business. Tesla’s shares have fallen by 14%, due to which Musk’s personal wealth has suffered a loss of about 9 billion dollars.
Was Elon Musk drunk?
It was said that he had made those tweets under the influence of drugs. However, a few days before this incident, in a press conference, on the question of Elon Musk consuming drugs in the White House and fighting with the officials, Trump had said that it is common to have arguments with the officials but there was no scuffle between them and as far as drugs are concerned, he has no knowledge of it.
Both were scared of the loss
Trump also attacked Musk fiercely and said that “Elon had become a problem for me. I told him to leave.” He also claimed that he had ended Musk’s electric vehicle mandate, but Musk still continued to make statements against him. If this fight continues, both can harm each other. Musk may have a social media platform (X) and intelligence to use against Trump. Trump can initiate a government investigation against Musk or cancel SpaceX’s contract.
How long will this friendship last?
Now people are raising questions whether the fight between Donald Trump and Elon Musk was real or just a pretense? Then why did Elon Musk suddenly shake hands with Donald Trump? Did Elon Musk get scared of business collapse by going against Donald Trump? For now, after Musk’s apology, it remains to be seen how Trump reacts. Will this dispute calm down or will it take a new turn? Because both the leaders are known for taking sudden U-turns.
